UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process initiated by Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has concluded with an award for the "AI Endoscopy (Medtronic GI Genius)" service evaluation project. The Trust, situated in Gloucester, UK, conducted this procurement through a direct method, categorised as below threshold and without competition, which is a straightforward approach typically used for smaller contracts. Medtronic Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Watford, UK, has been granted the contract worth GBP 53,250 in net value. This procurement falls under the medical software package industry category and will be delivered within the UKK13 region, with the contract period set from December 2025 to June 2027. The entire process reached the award stage on 16th December 2025, following an initial call for innovation funding in late 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in medical software and innovation-driven healthcare solutions, particularly those looking to expand their footprint in public sector contracts. The project, focusing on real-world evaluation rather than procurement per se, allows businesses to showcase their innovative solutions and potentially secure future procurement contracts if the Trust decides to commission the product. Companies with experience and capabilities in healthcare technology development, especially those with endoscopy-related expertise, would be well-suited to participate in similar opportunities when they arise. The significance of bridging the gap between innovation and healthcare services makes this an attractive avenue for growth.
